Chickadee Blouse & Skirt

$15.00 | Sizes 2T-8

Perfect for school pictures or trips to the museum, the long-sleeved Chickadee Blouse has a rounded, off-set collar and an asymmetrical front pleat that complement the lines on the faux-wrap Chickadee Skirt. The top of the Blouse is lined and has a split opening at the left front neckline that is secured by a single button. The Skirt is fully lined (with no hemming!) and features buttonhole elastic in the back waistband to add flexibility in fitting.

For the Blouse, we recoomend lightweight woven fabrics such as cotton shirtings, poplin, voile, lawn, quilting cotton, and linen. The Skirt works well with most midweight fabrics, such as twill or corduroy, with a lighter weight fabric recommended for the lining.
